Dubstep

[Jafs]

To continue the previous dubstep related topic with Burial for title (see here http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forum...ghlight=burial)

Thoughts about albums from Scuba, Benga, Pinch,... ? Love the crossover between techno and dubstep with prime producers like 2562 or Peverelist ?

Let's share & discuss here !

[m.g.]

Mmm... well, taking the risk to be flamed here & it's just my opinion but I don't like dubstep, I don't understand all the noise & the buzz around it & I think Burial is one of the most overrated thing in the last year. Period.

Personally, I LOVE Burial. The thing with me is, I just don't take the time to get to know the genre, even though I've heard quite a lot of amazing stuff (both live and recordings).

Back to july 2005, someone on another forum posted that first Burial album artwork which immediately attracted me. Listened to 3 samples on amazon and bought it immediately, and felt in love with this.

But after, when I was searching for more stuff, the other name I felt on was Vex'd and their Degenerate LP... the transition between the urban soul r'n b garage whatever soundscapes of Burial and the raw and industrial sounds of the duo was hard and totally unexpected

So I let this down for a while, till hearing Pinch's "Qawwali" for the first time, on the Last fm radio player. I was totally fascinated by this track, so melancholic, atmospheric, and those bass frequencies, hmmm... So I really started to wait for an album from the Bristol guy.

Since then I had loads of dubstep albums in my ears and on my shelves (less on the last than on the first I admit ), and those I prefer are from Distance, Pinch, Benga, Boxcutter and Cyrus, and certainly the next to come in that dub/minimal/detroit techno crossover with the genre (2562, Peverelist, Appleblim,...).

Actually, that dj Osiris is a classmate of mine, I know he organizes that shit (or some other parties) as well. I haven't had the chance yet, but I will visit one of those parties sooner or later.

I'll def have to check 'em out...
I haven't really heard anything too exciting from the dubstep scene in a bit

I did, however hear that Burial is doing the next K7 DJ Kicks cd!

(btw - wtf happened to K7? they used to have stuff coming out all the time (and great freebie deals if you ordered from their website), like around '01/'02... and now - it seems they put all their eggs in one basket)
